Colts Reporter Calls Falcons’ QB Tua Tagovailoa ‘Absolutely Horrific’
This Colts reporter held nothing back about the Falcons QB's performance. The post Colts Reporter Calls Falcons’ QB Tua Tagovailoa ‘Absolutely Horrific’ appeared first on HEAVY.
WESTFIELD, Indiana - Tua Tagovailoa, the Atlanta Falcons' quarterback, faced harsh criticism during the team's joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts on August 19, 2026. Colts reporter Kevin Bowen dismissed Tagovailoa's performance as "absolutely horrific" during the session, contrasting it with his praise for Daniel Jones, the Colts' quarterback, who was recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
Bowen commended Jones for a flawless performance, finishing with a perfect 14-for-14 pass completion rate. Tagovailoa, on the other hand, was relentlessly targeted by Colts' defense throughout the afternoon, leading to a lost fumble, a pick-six, and a single highlight of a deep pass that was ultimately intercepted. The day after his preseason debut, Tagovailoa's struggles continued, raising concerns about the Falcons' quarterback situation as they prepare for the start of the regular season.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski has yet to officially name a Week 1 starter, leaving the role of the starting quarterback up in the air. The team's depleted defense, already missing two 2025 first-round picks, and Tagovailoa's lackluster performances have led to growing doubts about the team's prospects for the upcoming season.
